Today the excitement filled the air.Our graduation ball was near a night to dress up and celebrate before we left high school.The theme was glitz and glam and everyone wanted to look their best.For me wearing a suit for the first time it was a big deal.

Thankfully,my sister Coleen (@helianthus-chloe) a style guide and Hive mentor stepped in.Our search for the perfect suit was a comedic adventure.Every rental shop was swamped,suits vanishing like magic.But Coleen ever resourceful led us to a hidden gem,a house overflowing with formal wear.There amidst the finery we found the one.

Coleen chose a white suit,declaring it would brighten my face.It was perfect,elegant and striking. On the big night however,nerves kicked in.Staring at my reflection,I saw a waiter not a suave graduate.My family though countered my doubts with unwavering support and boosting my confidence.

The gymnasium was transformed into a magical ballroom.Fairy lights twinkled,square metallic foil shimmered and the excitement filled the air.

The ceremony began with a opening remark followed by the national anthem being led by my teacher lorie lee Paypa

then our names were called one by one and we walked down the red carpet a procession of graduates ready to embrace the next chapter of our lives.

It was my moment,a chance to shine,to walk with confidence and pride.And for a fleeting moment,I felt like a movie star aside from that I felt like a celebrity basking in the adoration of the crowd.

The photo session followed,a flurry of poses and smiles.We gathered around our designated tables and capturing the moment with our classmates,our friends,our partners in crime for the past few years.Each photo was a snapshot of a memory and a living proof to the bonds we had forged.

Then came the highlight of the night the graduation ball dance.I was paired with my adviser,a woman who had guided us,supported us and believed in us.It was my first dance with a woman so that moment I felt a little awkwardness and grace but a memory I would cherish forever.

The music is all over the gynmasium,a mix of slow ballads and upbeat tunes.We swayed,we twirled,we laughed and we eveb celebrated the end of an era.It was a moment of pure joy,the celebration of our achievements and a farewell to our high school days.

Then our teachers took center stage.They had prepared a surprise performance a dance routine that showcased their hidden talents.

And among them, our very own @minelwanders20 a fellow Hive member stole the show with her electrifying moves.She danced with passion with energy,with a charisma that captivated the audience.We were all amazed by her talent yet baffled when she did not receive the best dancer sash.

The night was drawing to a close but the party was just getting started.Our teachers recognizing our desire to celebrate and gave us permission to dance until 8 pm.We took to the dance floor,our bodies moving to the rhythm of the music,our laughter echoing through the gymnasium.

We danced until we were drenched in sweat our bodies aching and even voices hoarse.We laughed until our jaws locked and sides splitting from the sheer joy of the moment.It was a night of pure,unadulterated fun,a celebration of our youth,our friendship and our shared journey.
